Screenwriting : Need Assistance/guidance to finish my screenplay by Adele Beeman

Adele Beeman

Need Assistance/guidance to finish my screenplay

​Hello. I am writing my first screenplay. I am a true neophyte so I am stumbling quite a bit. I have a log line but am stuck trying to write a treatment. I gave up on Final Draft as it was stopping me from writing (stuck on the mechanics of it) so now I am just free flow writing. Would you be available for consultation and or helping write a treatment and or assisting/guiding me in finishing my script. If you are interested/available what would you charge me? Thanks in advance. Best to you in good health. Adele

Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal"

Yes. I'll help you if you like. Check out my bio and contact me with a message, and you can email me your treatment.

Thanks for reaching out Phil. I need to work a bit more on my story line so I don't have a treatment yet. The ending can go in many different directions. Once I have more clarity I will certainly reach out. Most appreciated. Have a blessed and healthy day. Adele

Adele, u know who assists me with my current one? Koepp, Coen Bros and soon to be Mann - all for free :) but it's not my first and it's not a "cut-throat" deal...but if it were, I'd choose some swift no BS offers as the one above...

Hi Adele, I see your post is a few months old so you may have already solved your problem. I just wanted to say that I live close to you and if you need some help getting comfortable with Final Draft I'm happy to walk you through it. I'm totally not tech savvy either, so I totally get it. I wouldn't charge you.

Bill Albert

Good luck Adele. If I can help just let me know.

Hi Adele

Everyone has their own way of writing, but there are always certain ground rules used to make the script effective and not boring. Three-act structure. Inciting incidents, what's at stake, the midpoint shocker etc.

I usually do a 60-point outline first. Each point is a scene. Just a couple of sentences describing the scene (maybe a few dialogues) I do this basically to see the flow, the structure, the plot, the beats, the set-up and the payoffs etc.

This usually works for me as I end up having a pretty good idea of the overall pace, length, and flow. It is much easier to start the screenplay after that. While writing you might add a few more scenes or characters to enhance the flow. But the structure and the plots usually remain the same.

Hope this helps :)
